PHILOSOPHER Oh MONOp.

1t was Bacon who said that il was the
part OF a great ruler TO have the wealth
Of a country so distributed that each
should have q proportion that he could
live in convenient plenty, and be in no
servile condition, and he added that such
a ruler should see to it that the pillow
was kept in the hands of owners not of
hirelings. 1t is that part of wisdom for
a self-governing people to do as Bacon
said a wise ruler would do. But how is
wealth to be so evenly or justly divided ?
This is a question which the defenders
of the great social system ask with, ap-
parently, the confident assurance that it
admits of no answer. Yet if men would
but think honestly; if they would but
allow reason and conscience free action,
they would see that the answer is not
only possible, but self. evident.
What is it that now makes the tire.
mendous differences in the fortunes Of in.
dividuals? No greater industry, not
natural ability, certainly? else the
wealthy would be the most industrious
and the most gifted. What is it then ?
Is it not that some have greater oppor-
tunities, and do not these greater oppor-
t~unities arise from the operations of un-
just laws and system? One man obtains
possession of a piece of ground, and in
time thousands of men find it necessary
to use it, and they make him wealthy.
Another man invents a labor.saving ma.
chine, a capitalist buys the sole right to
use it. The Government, by means of a
patent, gives him a monopoly. Then if
the new invention becomes a necessity,
and the owner of the monopoly-nine
times in ten he is not the inventor-be.
enormously wealthy. Another
mai gets the monopoly Of q coal mine,
and compels the community to make
him wealthy or freeze. And so on it
goes. Whenever inordinate wealth is
found it is the accumulated earnings of
other men, and not the result Of its
owners productive labor.
Without giving an equivalent, men do
not obtain possession of wealth which
others create, except by unjust means.
When we see that in the ordinary work.
ing.out of our industrial system, the few
become possessed of what the many pro.
duce, WI know that the system itself is
unjust.-Labor Reformer.

fully.
The Salt Lake Tribune has just been
given a bit of news which, unfortunately,
was not given it three weeks ago, but a
statement of it may at least serve as a
warning to credulous people in the future.
Two men came a month ago and registered
as s. Mulhern and E. Gilmartin of Chi.
cago. They were very quiet about the no.
tel but they made daily trips to the
country carrying large packs of dry goods
and clothes. They left the city on Sunday
morning for nobody knows where. A
couple of victims called at the Tribune
office and gave an account of their methods.
They would call at houses in the country,
repressntating them selves as the agents
of q great London house, with a branch
in Montreal, show their wares, explain
that they were anxious to dispose of the
flee, if necessary, that all the money was
not needed, that a note on four months
would do; that the note would be placed
in the Deserst Bank. and if desirable by
the makers they could, by paying the in.
terest annually, let the note run for a
term of years, etc. So plausible were they
and so liberal seemed to be their prices and
their terms of payment, that they seem
to have captured nearly all the country
around within fifteen miles of this city.
Atlast someof the victims began to inquire
and found that the houses they pretended
to represent failed two years ago; they
found also that they could not unload their
purchases for what they gave for them.
One man went to one of the precious pairand
offered to give him $50 if he would take
back the goods and give up his note. He
assured him that he would be glad to make
the arrangement in eight days, so soon as
he could get back the note. Yesterday
notice began to come to the victims from
the banks of this city and Ogden that
their notes due on a certain day had been
left for collection and payment must be
made promptly. Ii short, two swindlers
duped a credulous people, got their money,
and their notes, got the notes discounted
and skipped. There is no remedy, but
next time the dupes will perhape remem'
Der that when strangers want to do them
a particular favor there is liable to be an
African in the fence. They must have
been posted by some Il here as to whose
notes were good. Their cleanup must
amount to thousands of dollars.

KNIGHTS OF LAnuR
A Iled.Hot Time fm Convention nj
minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS, October 10.-Only one SEES.
sion of the Knights of Labor assembled to.
day, and when called to order at 2 P. NJ.
the comittee were not ready to report.
An opportunity was then presented for
bringing up the long-looked-for anarchy
discussions.
James Z. Quinn of District Assembly
No. 40, of New York, presented the fol.
lowing resolution under suspension of the
rules:
Considering that development of the
human mind in the nineteenth century has
reached such a point that it has expressed
itself almost unanimously against capital
punishment or the taking Of human life by
judicial process and looks upon it as a relic
of barbarism; therefore, be it resolved that
this convention express sorrow that
the men in Chicago are doomed to death,
and it use every endeavor to secure the
communication of the sentence Of death
passed upon them.
The convention was at once thrown into
the widest excitement, scores of dele
gates trying at the same time to obtain
the floor.
General Master Workman Powderly
decided that the resolution was out of or
der.
Joseph Evans of Pittsburg appealed from
the decision. The appeal was lost by a
vote of 151 to 50.
Before the appeal was taken Mr.. Pow
derby called General Worthy Foreman Crit
fths of Chicago to the chair, and in a short
but vehement speech called upon the con
vention to defeat the resolution. He said
no true Knight of Labor could be an An
archist. He appealed to the delegates in
impassioned words not to prevent the pro-
gress of the Order by the passage of any
such resolution.
Quinn, who offered the resolution, voted
aye on appeal in order to move a reconsid-
Grafton.
A number of other warm speeches were
made. This was the principal episode of
the day.
1t is the geneal opinion among delegates
tonight that no serious fight will come up
before the convention closes it's work.. A
sharp discussion is likely to occur over the
law governing natinal tr dies districts. The
fight that it was supposed would be made
against Powderly and other general officers
is said to be given up.

Another Mining Sale.

d. III. Jackson has recently sold to a
Denver and Chicago Syndicate the Bunker

money has been paid, and the property
transferred by the Cook brothers,
who were the original locators. w. A.
Farris, the expert, under whose report the
property was purchased, will take charge
of the mines and at once begin to work on
them. The company will also build a
new mill, and otherwise improve their prop.

always been considered very valuable, and
now that a sale has been consummated, we
may look for a bullion output that will do

Silver State: The most surprising thing
to Republican editors aboutths Presidents
tour in the Western States, is that like the
late Governor Bradley of Nevada, he pays
his fare. 1t is the first time in a genera

when he left Washington, and he has
simply astounded the Republican leaders

He has also taken a new departure as a

The Local Paper.

The press is usually recognized as the
medium by which intelligence and news
are transmitted to the people, and in the
hest cultured and oivilized communities
is to be found the most papers and best
literature. People at a distance judge
the enterprise of a community by the ap.
pearance of the local paper. However
it must be said that due credit for the
advance and prosperity of a place, as a
result of the work of a local paper is not
always accorded it. However, as q rule,
in all places of any Importance are to be
found a class of energetic business men,
who always recognize what the local pa.
per is as a factor to bring business in the
community, and point out its advantages
to the people. Local papers have an in.
auence to build up a town greater than
any power in which the same amount of
capital is is invested. People frequently
complain that their local papers are not
such as they desire. They do not con.
tain some particular item or items that
they desire to see. The chances are the
editor would have been glad to have pub.
lisbed the news item if he had known it.
People depend too much on editors doing
a sort of private detective work to get
their news. This should be changed,
and we have the utmost confidence there
is not a local paper in the land but what
would be benefited by it. Give the re.
porter the news and you will not only
be doing a good thing for him, but the
community in general. If you want to
build up your town, bring immigration
into the country, and have good local
improvements and a bright newsy way
to represent your ideas to the people,
send in your news and patronize your
local paper in preference to others.
